Does that dyno show both the 91 and 93? If so, it appears that the 91 map in green is the same or slightly better. Seems counter to everything I have heard about octane being critical to this platform. Maybe only when it's hotter.
The actual gas in the car with all these runs should be the same, which is good gas apparently.

The 91 and 93 shown in the picture refer to the map version (different aggressiveness). Like what you've read all along, aggressiveness doesn't necessarily make power. Octane (of the gas in your tank) does. That explains all.
So if there is 93 octane in the car, wouldn't use of the 93 map make more power than the 91 map? The dyno doesn't show any material difference between the two maps, so does that mean the car was not properly equipped or didn't have high enough octane to take advantage of the more aggressive map?

Trying to make some decisions based upon these data points for my own 18 LCI FBO running the 93. Why would I continue running a more aggressive map that doesn't make as much power as opposed to using the 91 map?
